On to chapter 12...sorry it took a while


Optimus P.O.V

I finished making steak and sat down. Bee was playing with Grimlock. Ratchet sat there watching TV.

I could them up to eat. I fed Grimlock on his bowl. Bee came walking and sat down looking at his food.

Ratchet came along and sat next to me. I sat down and we all started eating. It's been a day since she left. I tried not to think about it but…I can't.

"You miss her?" asked Ratchet

I looked up not knowing what to answer. But he knows I do.

"Yes…" I said

"You loved her?"

"Yes…I did…and still do"

"I miss her too Dad" said Bee

I nodded and rubbed his head. Ratchet smirks and kept on eating.

"I have…to see her" I said

Ratchet gave a raised eyebrow. He looks at Bee then turned to me with a look. I tried to ignore him but he is there.

I sighed "What…?"

"Then why are you just sitting here?" he asked with a smile

That hit me. Why am I sitting here and doing nothing? I should go out there and find Arcee. Where could she be? Where would they take her?

"You are right Ratchet but where is she?" I asked "I mean…where can she be?"

"Think Optimus…it's the government" he said with a raised eyebrow.

"That's it" I said. They must have taken her to Washington. I smiled to myself. Now the tough part is getting her free. I want to know if her family is there or not. I wonder if she is okay; I hope they don't have her locked up.

"Washington" I said with a smile "That's it"

Ratchet laughed "There you go"

"I need to go there and get Arcee" I said

Ratchet stood up "I'm coming with you and Ultra Magnus"

"Magnus" I said with a smile "Sure thing…"

Bee stood up "Can I come?"

"Yes…but Grimlock has to stay" I said "And who will take care of him?"

"I have friends" said Ratchet "They are Wheeljack and Bulkhead. They can take care of him"

"Alright…we everything down" I said "Now let's go"
